permission to not be okay: my journey starts here

Published on 28 February 2025 at 14:51

How did I end up here? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I’m just a young woman navigating what might be a classic mid-twenties crisis. My whole life, I’ve struggled to keep it together—managing expectations, running on fumes while it feels like everyone around me is stocked with premium fuel. If you didn’t catch that, it’s my way of describing depression. But let’s not dwell on that for now.

In just a few months, I’ll be graduating college—armed with a shiny new degree but no clear direction. I can’t seem to pinpoint my passion, and decision-making feels like a minefield because I’m terrified of making the wrong choice. Add to that a string of failed relationships, partly due to my insecure attachment style (and my questionable taste in men hasn’t exactly helped matters).

But here’s the thing: I want to heal. I want to work on building a secure attachment style and heal my inner child. I want to confront the things holding me back. Because, honestly, I’d rather not spend the rest of my life alone and without a career simply because I didn’t take the time to get my act together. This is my journey. Messy, uncertain—but it’s mine to figure out.

 Instead of applying for jobs or planning my future like I *should* be, here I am—starting a blog. Not to wallow in self-pity, but to piece myself back together, one word at a time. I need a space to share my thoughts and struggles, and this is it. Whether anyone ever reads this or not? Honestly, I don’t care. I’m doing this for me. If you’ve somehow stumbled upon this, well… sorry. But maybe you’ll find some comfort in knowing you’re not alone. Being a twenty-something who feels lost, unsure of their goals, or unable to maintain a decent relationship? Yeah, same. This is where my story begins—a messy, unfiltered chronicle of figuring things out. I can’t promise it’ll be organized, and I definitely can’t promise it’ll be entertaining. But it’ll be real. My thoughts are finally escaping the chaotic ping-pong match inside my head and finding a home here. Let’s see where this leads.
